It looks like I have the first kind of oiler.Now I need to find a Lombard check valve.

I already have the Poulan duck bill,all I need to know is what size nylon bushing & where to get them.
Ed
Like I said, it was fitted. The bushing ID fit the duckbill and the OD fit snug in the check valve. The duckbill was sandwiched between 2 bushings with washer (so it wasn't squished.) The length was just enough to tighten the check valve cap snug. There are no drop it parts. He used a lathe to size the bushings. Bushings were had from a hardware store.
Well I guess I'm screwed then.I don't have a machine shop at my disposal.I've got 2 of these SL9A saws,one I just got a few days ago & it runs like a champ,the other one I got 2 yrs.ago & it was supposed to run,but had the oiler issue.Is there any way to bypass or eliminate the auto oiler & just use the manual oiler?
Ed
I watched how Darrin used a ball bearing and spring to repair a damaged NLA duckbill valve. Give it a try.

Plug the pressure line from the engine. [emoji106]
That seems to be the simplest thing to do.I also have 2 SL9's that are manual oiler only.I don't like the pressurized systems,they're nothing but trouble IMO.

There is a shutoff valve with a link to the throttle trigger. It needs to be held open to oil the chain manually for anything but wide open throttle. Wrap a tiny zip tie around the valve stem.
I think he posted it on Magnus' site.
Thanks! I'll have a look at that today.
My son & I both looked for this linkage that you're talking about that goes to the trigger & we found absolutely nothing.Unless I have to take the FW & stator plate & coil off.
The IPL is useless as it's for the manual oiler only.I'd need some pics or very explicit directions to find out where this linkage attaches to the throttle trigger.

Variations occur in production one year to the next.
Most (12) of the PL/SL series I have here won’t oil the chain unless it’s held WOT.
Pump the manual oiler and see if you get lube to the bar mount.

Here is one with the shutoff valve circled. Notice the zip tie around the valve stem.
Gads that pic is achient history. Original was taken 2013.

OK I had to have my son point it out to me in the pic (sorry,I'm visually impaired).Now I know where to look on the saws & hope fully I can get them oiling again.The manual oiler on the newest SL9A didn't work at all & I never tried the older SL9A.Doesn't matter to me how old the pics are as long as they'll help me.Lol

On a brighter note,I got my Super 754 running today.It didn't take much to get it going.I put a new fuel filter in it & gave it a few primes & it took off running.I hade to make a slight carb adjustment as it was set a bit on the rich side & wouldn't throttle up properly.I'm thinking of putting a 30 in.bar & chain on it.

Your thumb will get a workout keeping a 30” oiled proper. [emoji6]
Is that why they only came with a 24 in.bar as the longest?
Ed
The longest bar listed in the IPL is 31”.
Go for it.
